Hamm gave an interview to the Examiner, and it's worth reading whether you like him or hate him. He points out that 61 of the first 72 homicide victims in 2007 had a criminal record.

Racist vandals are running amok at the UB law school. (Well, at least if you call one case of flier defacing "running amok.")
